Jolly Ranchers, we need your help. Rancho Alegre has been nominated in the Loose Cannon category for Tejano/Conjunto music advocacy on the Austin Chronicle's Best of Austin ballot! We would appreciate the support in any category, as would the rest of Austin's Tejano industry!

As we previously posted, our very own Baldomero "El Parrandero" Cuellar was invited to participate in a panel discussion about music and community for a Music Advocacy class at the University of Texas.

That's RIGHT! Our very own Baldomero "El Parrandero" Frank Cuellar has been asked to participate in a panel discussion alongside a couple other music organizers about music and community at the University of Texas at Austin.

Unfortunately, due to space restrictions, this event is not open to the public. But we wanted to share with you anyway! And maybe it will lead to more discussions of this nature.

Unfortunately, we have decided not to produce another Rancho Alegre Conjunto Festival in 2015 or any time in the near future. A variety of circumstances influenced our decision, including extreme funding challenges and lack of reliable, appropriate, and affordable venues in Austin, but most importantly, health.

Rancho Alegre's back in the studio with a super-special edition of our show featuring Tejano superstar Patsy Torres! We'll be spinning some of her favorite tunes and getting to know the lady herself. Don't miss this one!

Monday, 12/1 from 9-10 AM, only on listener-supported KOOP radio - radio for people, not for profit.

Join us live on KOOP on Monday 9/22 as we talk with author and historian Dan Margolies! We'll be talking conjunto with him and learning more about his projects and perspectives about the music. We'll also have rare gems, new music, and more Tejano and Conjunto you just won't hear anywhere else.

KOOP just began the fall Membership drive, and we have a special request:

Since we're new to the schedule and this is our first membership drive, we would LOVE to start out with a bang! We want to show the KOOP community not only how dedicated and supportive our listeners are but also how dedicated TEJANO and CONJUNTO FANS are!

BREAKING NEWS, Jolly Ranchers! Starting Monday, August 4th, Rancho Alegre will be on KOOP 91.7 FM in Austin, Texas, from 9 to 10 a.m.!! Every Monday morning, you can start your week off right with the best of our catalog! Tejano and Conjunto is BACK on FM in the Live Music Capital of the World!
